Method

  1. 1 Pick the water spinach, break it into long pieces, and let it drain completely; any remaining water will cool the pan.
  2. 2 Get everything ready because this dish only takes one minute to stir-fry.
  3. 3 Heat the pan until it smokes, add oil, then immediately add the crushed garlic and chili peppers.
  4. 4 Add the water spinach and stir continuously over the highest heat; the sprigs should just barely touch the pan – that's the right way to cook it.
  5. 5 Season with Thai soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, then remove immediately while the strips are still crispy.
